Abstract: The device comprises a transporter system in each machine, and a transfer unit (1) between them. The unit has two transporter plates (9), rotating in the same direction, and guided bobbin and sleeve handling devices (42) to lift and lower spinning cops and empty sleeves (60). The transporter plates have driver elements on their outer circumference. During rotation of a plate, the elements pass through transporter tracks associated with one or other of the transporter systems. The handling devices are controlled via stationary control links (35). Each of these has an upper cam (36) to move the main body (41) of the handling device, and a lower cam (37) to operate a bobbin foot positioner (49) and a sleeve grab (56).

Abstract: The basket (1) has three or more integrated fastening points, so that it can be fastened directly and easily removable to three points on the luggage rack. Fasteners (4) are locked in the fastening points by a securing element (3.3), e.g. a screw, on one side of the associated strut. A holder section of each fastener engages under the strut. Loosening of the screws permits the fasteners to be moved backwards, so that the holder sections slide out of the areas under the struts. The fastening points are formed by plates, welded or glued to the underside of the basket.

Abstract: A communications receiver system is presented for
detecting burst errors and providing erasure information to
the block decoder, thereby effectively doubling the
conventional correction capability of the block decoder with
only a minimal increase in complexity. In one embodiment,
the receiver includes a demodulator modified to detect error
bursts in the received symbol sequence. Once detected, the
locations of symbols in error are marked in the form of
erasure flags. An error correction decoder is then able to
correct up to twice as many errors with the additional
information provided by the erasure flags.

Abstract: A method of detecting a deteriorated condition of a wide
range air-fuel ratio sensor is provided. Firstly, a current is
applied to an electromotive force cell to detect a voltage Vs0
across electrodes on opposite side surfaces of the cell.
Application of the current is suspended, and a voltage drop Vsd1
across the electrodes is detected after lapse of a time ranging
from 10 µs to 1 ms after the application of the current is
suspended. Based on the voltage drop Vsd1 is detected a first
resistance value Rvs1 equated to the temperature of the
electromotive force cell. Further, after lapse of a time ranging
from 10 ms to 50 ms after the application of the current to the
electromotive force cell is suspended, a voltage drop Vsd2 across
the electrodes of the electromotive force cell is detected. Based
on the voltage drop Vsd2 is detected a second resistance value
Rvs2 equated to an internal resistance of the electromotive force
cell including a resistance component resulting from
deterioration. By comparison of the resistance values Rvs1 and
Rvs2, the deteriorated condition of the wide range air-fuel ratio
is detected. An apparatus for carrying out such a method is also
provided.

Abstract: The invention aims at enabling unspecified users to set a desired
function easily without mistakes when the users input the control information
for operating television sets, VTRs, and other audiovisual apparatus, especially
the recording control information. A record (REC) key 1 and an optical
remote control signal receiving section 2A are connected to an input circuit 3.
The input circuit 3 is connected through a control circuit 4 to a display circuit
5 and a recording circuit 6. The optical remote control signal receiving
section 2A receives an optical signal from a remote controller 2B and outputs
a record command signal to the input circuit 3. When setting a recording
period, the user familiar with the operating procedure presses the REC key 1
several times. The user unfamiliar with the setting of recording presses the
operation guide key on the remote controller 2B. When this is done, a
command is transferred to the optical control signal receiving section 2A and
input through the input circuit 3 to the control circuit 4 as an operation guide
command. The display circuit 5 displays the main menu screen.

the connector (6) whereby gases can be sampled and pressure
can be individually monitored or differentially monitored
to provide a pneumotach measurement at an optimum location
relative to the patient's airways.

Title: Method and apparatus for delivering a cased glass stream
Inventor: SCOTT GARRETT L
IPC: C03B7/08
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream that includes at least one pair of
aligned orifices (22, 28) coupled to sources (12, 40) of core and casing glass such that glass flows
by gravity from the sources through the aligned orifices to form a cased glass stream. The orifices
are carried by an orifice housing (44) mounted on a frame (46) for movement into abutment
seating engagement of the orifice housing against the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms.
The frame in accordance with the present invention includes a gimbal mounting arrangement (56
to 68) mounting the orifice housing to the frame so as to be pivotable about a pair of pivot axes
(64, 70) that are orthogonal to each other and to the axis of alignment of the orifices. This gimbal
mounting arrangement helps accommodate misalignment between the seating surfaces (72, 76)
on the orifice housing and the glass delivery mechanisms, and to reduce glass leakage during
operation.

Abstract: In a digital copier in which the copies are made with a reciprocating inkjet
printhead, the original image to be copied is pre-scanned at high speed and
low resolution, to identify an area in the original image having white space. If the
white-space area in the original image is sufficiently large, the action of the
printhead can be adapted to skip the corresponding area in the copy sheet in the
printing process, thus increasing the overall throughput of the digital copier. An
analogous technique can be used to identify non-halftone or non-color portions
of an original image, which can be printed with fewer than a maximum number
of passes of the printhead over a specific area of the copy sheet.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for in-situ monitoring of thickness during chemical-mechanical
polishing (CMP) of a substrate using a polishing tool and a film thickness
monitor. The tool has an opening placed in it. The opening contains a monitoring
window secured in it to create a monitoring channel. A film thickness monitor
(comprising an ellipsometer, a beam profile reflectometer, or a stress pulse analyzer)
views the substrate through the monitoring channel to provide an indication of the
thickness of a film carried by the substrate. This information can be used to determine
the end point of the CMP process, determine removal rate at any given circumference
of a substrate, determine average removal rate across a substrate surface, determine
removal rate variation across a substrate surface, and optimize removal rate and
uniformity.
